Food: Overhyped tasteless delicacies

Despite fanciful names on the menu like Steak au Poivre, New Caledonia Blue Prawn Carpaccio, and Fennel Salad, the flavors fall flat. The creativity is commendable but doesn't save them from disappointing portions and a taste that underwhelms. As if that wasn't enough, items vanish from the menu just as you're about to order, which barely stays afloat with overbearing prices.

  • Almost Creative

    Classic French with added creativity where taste and technique meet.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu items that were promised were not available when ordering.

Vibe: Enchanting ambience, subpar cocktails

Strikingly exquisite decor sets a romantic aura, whisking you into a fairy-tale French province. A gentle hum from live music and the twinkling lights form a captivating scene, enough to glide a date night seamlessly. Yet, the magic dissipates with the first sip of their unimpressive, overpriced cocktails.

  • Great For Dates

    Romantic, intimate atmosphere; perfect ambiance for a date night setting.

  • Okay Buzz

    Trendy vibe on patio, fire pits draw millennial crowd.

  • Bad Drinks

    Cocktails disappointing, not genuine, bad taste, overpriced, limited alcohol availability.

Perks: Awkward outdoor, dubious service

Valet parking eases the initial worries, and a warm, inviting noise level strikes a perfect cozy-upscale balance. But the pleasure ends there. Seating spaces outdoors are cramped, hastening to discomfort. Unpleasant surprises pop up while making reservations. Adding to the inconvenience, staff seems confused while catering to large groups.

  • Easy To Park

    Valet parking mentioned positively, indicating convenience and presence.

  • Okay Service

    While some noted service hiccups, staff generally quick to address issues.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Charged a fee for not showing up; reservation issue not clear.
